overnight music camps where we had a team of incredible teachers and group leaders who have gone above and beyond to help us out during each trip. What fascinated me the most about this trip was the fact that Crystal Choir took 80 kids on a plane, gave th

2014 Crystal Ensemble Sing a Mile High Children’s Chorus Festival Denver, Colorado A COLLECTION OF MEMORIES FROM CLASS E41 At the rehearsal in the Mile High church, I met two world ‐ famous conductors and songwriters. Their names were Paul Caldwell and Sean Ivory. I have never met them before in my whole life. And who knows how quickly the choristers would become their fans? As we sat down to rehearse, Paul came upstage to do warm ups with us. Sean played a tune on the piano and Paul told us to hum the tune to it. While humming, he used a lot of funny terms like "get a belly full of air" and "go the gym and come back"(he said that because when we breathed out, our stomachs deflated and it looked like we lost weight. ) From that,the choristers got the impression that Paul was a humorous and energetic person. We all got inspired that day. Roger Huang During the Denver trip I learned many things from the guest conductors, Paul Caldwell and Sean Ivory. I learned that you must always remember to open your jaw vertically instead of sideways. They taught us other many little tips that will matter and show a difference in my voice when I sing. They taught us in different new ways to make our voices sound round and pretty. Our percussion teacher, John Knecht, taught us how to use and make harmony with many different instruments. Paul once made harmony from a song that John taught us, and now I can make harmony with one tune. I learned responsibility in making sure you don’t lose things, remembering your music, and cleaning up your table before you leave the cafeteria after you finish eating so others can use the table afterwards. Sierra Liu My favorite part about the trip was the water park, it was so fun. The water slides, lazy river and playground were all soooo fun! And can't forget about the food. It was amazing compared to our cafeteria food. Though of course it is a college.plus you said that there was 25 hours of rehearsal when there was only 14 hr and 45 min. My feet were so sore after standing for so long! Though I really liked the drumming rehearsal. I was so amazed to have three standing ovations! The trip was awesome. Sophie Cui It was really cool living in the college dorms. Although during the first night our neighbors banged on their floor (our ceiling) and made a lot of noise, it was interesting to sleep with 2 or 3 other people and wake up with bleary eyes and groans when the chaperone's alarm sounded. We could run around and see a bunch of familiar faces just by going to the room next to where we slept. It was like a big sleepover where everyone just hung out with each other. In our room, we ended up playing a lot of poker with Annie's cards at night.
